In addition to noticing the strange trenches of the Fujian army, Wang Zhixian also found a very interesting characteristic of the Fujian people, and not only Wang Zhixian, but almost everyone in Jinghai City knew a characteristic of the Fujian people, that is, the Fujian people love to sing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter what you do, Fujian people like to sing and do it.

The camp of the Fujian army is not far from Jinghai City, so there are some loud noises in the barracks, and Jinghai people can hear them. Generally speaking, every morning, when the sun has just come out, the Hokkien people will first blow the horn, and then the soldiers will immediately get up and come out to sing. After singing a song, everyone eats breakfast, after breakfast, sings again, and then starts training or work, and after a period of training and work, as soon as the horn sounds, everyone can rest for a while, and during this rest time, Fujian people will also sing. Then sing at lunch, sing at dinner, and sing again before going to bed. Fujian people like to sing to such an extent, which is really staggering.

So, for a period of time, listening to Fujian people singing has become a scenery in Jinghai. Even some bored people will get up early in the morning and run to the east gate to wait, just to listen to the Fujian people singing at dawn. In the past, the people of Jinghai said that the sky was bright, and they often said, "The chickens have crowed three times." And now, many people have simply changed this sentence to: "Fujian people have sung three songs." ”

Moreover, Wang Zhixian also found that Fujian people not only like to sing, but also sing their songs very well. For example, every morning at sunrise, although the songs they often sing are very strange, but listening to them sing along with Tessie's drums, they are also particularly sonorous, such as this one:

"Huaxia, Huaxia, above all,

above all things in the world;

Whenever and for the sake of defending the Motherland,

Brothers stand together forever.

From Meng Tian to Wei Qing,

From Huo Qu's illness to Yue Pengju,

Huaxia, Huaxia, above all,

...... above all things in the world"

Another example is such a song:

"Huaxia, our sacred motherland,

Huaxia - our beloved motherland.

The spirit of self-improvement, the glory of brilliance——

It is your eternal treasure!

Glory, our great Fatherland,

The Ancient Kingdom of Our Fathers and Fathers......"

Such straightforward lyrics are naturally too vulgar and unliterate in Wang Zhixian's opinion, but it's unrealistic to expect a group of Qiu Ba to sing something elegant, isn't it? Later, Wang Zhixian talked about this song with General Guo with regret, saying that the tune of this song is wonderful, but it is a pity that the lyrics are too straightforward and have no meaning. General Guo explained that this song was heard from the Taixi missionary, and even the words were made up by the missionary, and the foreigner wrote it, of course, there is no literary style. Besides, if there is really literary talent, I'm afraid that those big-headed soldiers don't understand it, and if they don't understand it, they naturally don't like to sing. As for why the soldiers like to sing, General Guo's explanation is: If you don't sing when you're a soldier, what else can you do? It's better to sing and sing when you're okay than to have nothing to do.

Wang Zhixian is very satisfied with this statement, as the so-called lower riba people, and their peacemakers are numerous; Spring and white snow, its harmony is few. Even those vulgar soldiers, as soon as they opened their mouths, they sang "The clouds are rotten, and the clouds are many." The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and the moon are shining. Such an "elegant" thing, how can a scholar like Wang Zhixian maintain a high sense of superiority?

It's just that the tunes of these two songs are really excellent (which is natural, because these two songs themselves were directly copied by Zheng Sen, and the first one is actually the German national anthem "Germany is above all else", from the lyrics to the tune. And the second is the national anthem of the Soviet Union, "Unbreakable Union". And the tune of "Germany above all" was composed by the great musician Haydn. Naturally good. Although "Unbreakable Alliance" later disintegrated, this song alone can definitely be regarded as one of the best national anthems in the world. And Zheng Sen is not worried that someone will accuse him of plagiarism, anyway, in this era, neither Haydn nor Alexandrov, nor Germany nor the USSR does not exist. As a result, Wang Zhixian found that he was okay to relax, and as a result, he accidentally hummed a song, and the lyrics of the hum were actually "Huaxia, Huaxia, above all ......else" or "Huaxia - our sacred motherland......" In fact, this phenomenon is also very common, for example, once the author doesn't like "Little Apple", but after listening to it too much, he didn't pay attention, and inadvertently hummed the song, which was actually "You are my little apple". It can also be seen from here that songs do have a unique role in brainwashing.

Indeed, songs have a propaganda role that cannot be ignored, Zheng Sen added music lessons to the study subjects of the factory protection team, and taught them these songs, which is by no means a boring bad taste, but has a real purpose, that is, to brainwash and promote the idea of nationalism to the teenagers of the factory protection team.

It has been said that in the world there is a so-called difference between the classical army, the feudal army, the modern army and the modern army, and this difference is not all in the weapons used, but in the way of organization.

The classical army emphasized discipline and training, and they generally had quite excellent combat effectiveness, but because of the restrictions of the country's economy, his army would not be too numerous, and it would be difficult to recover once it suffered heavy losses.

The feudal army is an army built on personal dependence, and its combat effectiveness is completely guaranteed by the ability of the generals themselves, although there are also elite and capable troops, but most of the time, the organization of the feudal army is relatively poor, although the number is often large, but the real combat effectiveness is often only a very small number of elites.

The modern army, in a sense, is the resurrection of the classical army, except that the economic power of the country has become stronger enough to maintain a greater number of such disciplined and well-trained troops. Because of strict discipline and well-trained, commanders can command these armies on the battlefield like an arm and a finger, and complete all kinds of complex and flexible battlefield maneuvers, without getting themselves out of control in these complex battlefield movements. Moreover, strict training and strict discipline also enabled such an army to complete the advance against the enemy's artillery fire, and complete the column horizontal transformation under the enemy's artillery fire and platoon gun fire, and they could withstand the unimaginable casualties of the feudal army to complete the battlefield mission. However, the soldiers of the modern army do not have a general initiative and autonomy in warfare. They can't take the initiative to fight, so once a strong modern army loses its command, it will collapse.

As for the modern army, it is an army with ideals, and in a sense, the modern army is an army composed of "soldiers". They are fighting for their own ideals and can take the initiative to carry out combat missions, even if they lose their command because of the defeat in the battle, the soldiers of this army can still think for themselves and take the initiative to fight the enemy.

Historically, the emergence of the modern army and the rise of nationalism were inextricably linked. Frederick was able to rise as a small Prussia, and his deliberate nationalist education played a great role. In Zheng Sen's view, nationalist education is also indispensable to build an army that can sweep the world.

And China's nationalist propaganda is naturally easier than in the messy countries of the West. Because a long time ago, China had something quite close to nationalism, that is, the "difference between Huayi". With a proper interpretation, it can easily be described as Chinese-style nationalism.

The factory team has been learning together as a whole and living together and cooperating, their collective consciousness is not bad, and in the daily study of the factory team, a very important content is the study of history, and in the teaching of history, special emphasis is placed on the praise of those national heroes in our history, and the spurning of those traitors who betrayed the nation. And in the music lessons that accompany it, there are naturally a large number of songs that praise the motherland, praise heroes, criticize, and satirize traitors and traitors. Coupled with the propaganda of the atrocities of Jianxin, those who have been displaced and who have lost their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters in the wanderings will naturally believe that the reason why they have such an encounter is largely caused by those who do not want to work honestly and just want to loot for nothing. Not to mention the start of the house, the reason for the deviant". As a result, they naturally had a bitter hatred for the Manchu organization, and if they had to fight them in the future, their morale would naturally be more guaranteed. This is one of the purposes for Zheng Sen to teach them these songs.

In addition, isn't the Chinese idea of "changing Xia into Yi", or "promoting advanced Chinese civilization to the world", very suitable for future colonial expansion? In fact, Zheng Sen has been consciously making theoretical preparations in this regard, and in his recent correspondence with Gu Jiang, he focused on discussing why Zhou Gong's sub-feudal system was successful, while most of the later sub-feudal systems were unsuccessful, and Zheng Sen also consciously or unintentionally explained that the reason why Zhou Gong was successful was because his sub-feudal was not to divide the country, but to expand the territory, and to "change the land with Xia". (that is, armed colonization) and Gu Jiang seems to have gradually begun to agree with Zheng Sen's views.

Of course, Zheng Sen did not do this without side effects, one of the side effects of nationalist thought is that he is very different from the idea of loyalty, that is, in the idea of loyalty, the king is the first, unquestionable, and ultimately the highest value. In the idea of nationalism, the interests of the nation come first, and the king has legitimacy only when it is in the interests of the nation. For example, in the matter of Yue Fei's murder, the general saying is that all the black cauldrons were thrown at Qin Hui, but in the history textbooks studied by the factory protection team, Zhao Gou was pulled out and accused of betraying the nation for his own selfish interests, which was a traitor who was even more guilty than Qin Hui! Although the idea of nationalism was conducive to Zheng Sen's future usurpation of the throne, it abolished the army's absolute loyalty to the king at the same time, and in fact also canceled the army's absolute loyalty to Zheng Sen. However, considering that in Europe, nationalist currents of thought have already begun to emerge, and an army armed with nationalist ideas is certainly better able to fight than an army without ideas. So Zheng Sen must also keep up with this rhythm, and even lead this trend.
